My first inaugural bowl in my new Peterson Newgrange Spigot (124) Fishtail, with C&D Carolina Red Flake.
I hope everyone is well, have a great weekend and enjoy your smokes!
To everyone’s health, be well everyone!

A light lunch of cold meat and pickles followed by fruit.
Now Penzance in a 1902 Charles Maxwell Kinnear footed Cutty with Amber-look acrylic stem with orific bit. Chester hallmarks KLd in an oval.
With it a glass of Spanish brandy - Equipo Navazos La Bota 29 10+ yo Jerez brandy kept in fino sherry cask for >12months prior to bottling. Fine, pale and dry, unlike the majority of Spanish brandies which tend to be dark, full-bodied and sweet.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DRA 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Zooming with friends.
Smoking my first bowl in a few days. Enjoying some GH&Co Kendal Mixed in a Savinelli Autograph.
Now smoking Hearth & Home White Night in a Paykoc Meerschaum Dr Watson - From Sherlock Holmes / Dr Watson two pipe set.
There was a post today in the forum, which asked how many pipe one have. I have 48 pipes, and have stopped buying pipes because I believe in quality and not quantity.
I only had three more pipes to buy, which would make the perfect size of my collection to 51. One of them is from an American Carver, whose work I admire a lot, and in my personal opinion she is is the most talented carver in the world today. Whenever I tried to buy her pipes before, it was already sold. Today I gathered the motivation to contact her directly for a commission, pre selected a working pipe of hers, agreed on a price and decided to finalize a contract on Monday.
Knowing myself it is a 100%
chance that I will buy the pipe on Monday, so hopefully one more to my collection. Since it is a commission it will be tuned to to my preferences, and that’s an added bonus

I’m up to a treat , G&H Brown Flake Aromatic into an Ali Cutty Meer with earl grey .
Now on to a bowl of GH&Co Kendal Dark in this Knute freehand
Last smoke from this tin and put a bunch of tins to my next order, this tobacco has been good to me and will be a mainstay for me.
Post that baby when you get it!
Mac Baren Dark Twist in a small unbranded meerschaum horn
Finishing off the very fine Spanish brandy with a mug of black chai tea
Now onto a bowl of Germain's Special Latakia Flake. This is supposedly the blend that Penzance was developed from. Where I find Penzance somewhat one dimensional, I find this Special Latakia Flake engaging and ever changing.
In a 1921 Loewe bent billiard with an army mount stem, orific bit (the bottom pipe in the 2nd pic)

Half way through the last of my stash of KBV The Awe Das City in a 1979 smooth straight dark brown Loewe Army 910 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work soon.
Finishing the night with a bowl of Dark Bird's Eye in a Bari freehand.
Lane BLWB in a SMS Smooth Bulldog Meerschaum
Now smoking Wilke Peanut Butter in a 2016 quarter bend Royal Meerschaum fluted paneled brandy meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening to Al Stewart.
